Two faraway objects may once have made up a binary asteroid in our solar system before being separated and pushed into their current orbits by the mysterious Planet Nine millions of years ago. This is the conclusion of a new study, which conducted the first spectroscopic observations of asteroids 2004 VN112 and 2013 RF98 – a pair with nearly identical orbits. The investigation revealed that these asteroids may have a common origin, and suggests they were influenced by an encounter with a much more massive object, adding support to the existence of the hypothetical planet on the edge of our … Continue reading →

The post Mysterious Planet 9 appeared first on LewRockwell.

When Professor Hans-Hermann Hoppe made his famous argument against democracy back in 2001, the notion that voting was a lousy way to organize society was still radical even among many libertarians. Virtually everyone raised in a western country over the past century grew up hearing “democracy” used as a synonym for wonderful, good, just, and valid. It takes a great deal of unlearning to overcome this as an adult, and to question the wisdom of representative government installed via democratic mechanisms. Fast forward to 2017, however, and the case against democracy is being made right in front of our eyes. … Continue reading →

The post Democracy, the God That’s Failing appeared first on LewRockwell.

The other day, I was visiting my friend’s repair shop. He was working on a late 1980s Subaru wagon. I  noticed it had 13-inch wheels and four-lug hubs. You never see this anymore. That’s too bad. The smallest wheel/tire you’ll find a new car riding on is a 15-incher. My ’76 Trans-Am, a big (and heavy) muscle car also has 15×7 wheels. But it is a muscle car. Large (for its time) wheels and fat tires made sense because it has a big V8 and lots of power and you need as much traction as possible to keep it all … Continue reading →

Other reviews explain the gist of this book: Carbohydrates make you fat and sick; remove carbs from your diet and you’ll lose weight and feel better. Current Prices on popular forms of Silver Bullion This “review” is my personal experience with this diet regimen that began on March 10, 2016. As of today, June 22, 2016, I have lost 30 pounds. (I am a 60-year-old man; my height is 5’7″.) I eat three eggs and four slices of turkey bacon (fried in coconut oil) every morning with a few cups of decaf. I don’t use cream in my coffee. The … Continue reading →

The post After a Lifetime of Eating Carbs appeared first on LewRockwell.

It was Nobel laureate economist Milton Friedman who made famous the adage, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” Professor Friedman could have added that there is a difference between something’s being free and something’s having a zero price. For example, people say that there’s free public education and there are free libraries, but public education and libraries cost money. Proof that they have costs is the fact that somebody has to have less of something by giving up tax money so that schools and libraries can be produced and operated. A much more accurate statement is that we … Continue reading →

The post Nothing’s Free appeared first on LewRockwell.

In just two weeks as president of the United States, Donald Trump has given indications of how he intends to tackle various international political situations. So far we have observed the controversy over Iran, the events related to NATO, rapprochement with Russia, escalation in Ukraine, silence on Syria, the US special-forces operation in Yemen, verbal clashes with the EU, and the absence of further criticism of China. This first article will focus on the US deep state’s possible sabotage attempts of the Trump presidency. Tensions continue to rise unabated in the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s presidency, as more … Continue reading →

The post Donald Trump and the Deep State appeared first on LewRockwell.

(Excerpted with permission from Dr. Woods’s daily email.) I feel like I’m back in junior high. Evidently, there are a few social media threads condemning me for being mean on Twitter. (Follow me @ThomasEWoods.) “What has become of Tom Woods? Why, he called ______ a pygmy! ______ is a great man and scholar, better than Woods will ever be!” ::sigh:: Yes, I did do that, and no, I don’t regret it. Why are the most advertised Gold and Silver coins NOT the best way to invest? It happens that there is a libertarian economist who repeatedly attacks the character of … Continue reading →

The post Yes, I Defend My Friends appeared first on LewRockwell.

Last week, The Wall Street Journal revealed that members of the intelligence community — part of the deep state, the unseen government within the government that does not change with elections — now have acquired so much data on everyone in America that they can selectively reveal it to reward their friends and harm their foes. Their principal foe today is the president of the United States. Liberty is rarely lost overnight. The wall of tyranny often begins with benign building blocks of safety — each one lying on top of a predecessor — eventually collectively constituting an impediment to … Continue reading →
